The Shadow
COVINGTON, Va. (VR – From opening tip to final whistle — it was all Alleghany.
The Mountaineers placed four players in double figures and dominated in all phases of the game Monday night at Mountaineer Gym in a 94-39 thrashing of the Covington Cougars.
June Godfrey, Montell Watson, Chance Dobbs and Bosco Williams all put up twin figures as the Mountaineers shot over 60 percent for the second straight game.
“There was no drop off in either intensity or execution by all the players tonight,” said AHS coach Carl Watson. “We had a lot of different people contribute by just doing their jobs.”
Alleghany’s pressure man-to-man defense created 33 Covington turnovers and led to a number of easy opportunities on the offensive end.
Behind a flurry by Watson, the Mountaineers darted to a quick 13-3 lead and never looked back, building a 36-19 margin at halftime and outscoring their guests 58-20 in the second half.
“We gave up penetration and easy lay-ups,” said CHS coach Rob Bennett. “When we fell behind, I felt like we laid down on both ends of the floor. Alleghany fed off that — they humiliated us.”
